Solo Solo everybody?

There has been a tendency across the bigg boss seasons to applaud or hail the contestants who have this image of playing SOLO. 👏👏

Usual pattern -

Some contestants put up a fight for something or do something against the majority consensus, many people stand up against it, then there is some group formation, and then the other contestant is usually seen playing a style of BB game called solo game. Usually this game relies on popularity of that person.

Usually this person is being hailed as a strong player and those playing in the group are taunted as jhund mein khelne wale log. 😆

But solo players can have excessive self obsession, victimhood & are usually seen blowing their own trumpet all the time. 🥳

Why is a contestant who tries to adjust accroding to the situations, who tries to understand others, and who tries to form alliances is treated different by the viewers as opposed to the one playing solo stand games?

If group game is convenient for house dynamics, solo game is convenient for escaping from responsibilities and liabilities of being a friend. If you are playing solo, you have the choice of being against anyone. 😎

A non solo player will be having hard choices - self vs friend, this friend vs that friend, girlfriend vs friend, wrong friends vs right other contestant.

Those with massive backing either from viewers or creatives have been able to carry this type of game, otherwise it's near impossible to stay solo.

What I am saying is forming alliance or having many equations isn't that convenient as thought to be and shouldn't be looked down upon. 😆😆

It's not a sign of weakness.

Some persons in BB don't have that choice of playing solo if they want to move forward.

The other persons despite having that choice might not want to be that kind of person, which is perfectly fair & in fact can be considered a good trait about a person.👍🏼

I like people who manage to stay sane despite being in difficult situations. 😎

Solo solo everybody? Then who will be that other adjusting and understanding person?

Agree but the problem arises when people start compromising on going against wrong thing in their group just to maintain that group...

I will give you an example...in case of shalin-sumbul thing... everyone knew what was going on n somewhere everyone knew it was wrong n sumbul needs to know but just for the sake to maintain that group or not to create uncertainty in that group, they chose to remain silent... See it is very clear BB wants nimrit to come ahead... So when all the things where going on n she is the part of that group n she chose to remain silent that's where audience started to see that person kind of coward... Nimrit n others started to call out only when Salman called it out... So here audience perceives them as opportunist or person who lacks spine as they knew about the whole matter better than those who are not part of those group but still they chose to remain silent...

No body expects the same with shiv or Priyanka for sumbul although they kind of knew the mess up... Because they are not the part of the group, so they don't own any responsibility for those members ...

But when people in a group stand for each other on a right thing, audience do appreciate that... Shiv n all are also a group but till now that group had not done any bizarre thing like shalin sumbul matter.. so till now people are liking that group...

Groups come with advantages... High number...high chances of getting captainship...less chances of nominations... winning tasks... But advantages come with a responsibilities too

Dont you think just because they say they aren't a group and we are like minded folks bonded together cos we think alike etc etc applies to both gangs. Not just the Nim group, and also dont you think BB has cleverlynever showed any exposing stuff about pri and gang,but exposed every little thing of the other gang which gives this gang an advantage to act all righteous??

If Priyanka fights for the right and stands up for people, her sitting down with Sumbul and talking and putting sense into her (ofc not necessary at all, ), if she is that righteous and calls wrong wrong, she would have done that, irrespective of the "group" sumbul is in, cos apparently pri is a solo player.

Her coming with Ankit someone she was closely working with since udaariyan period is an advantage, cos irrespective of their equations with each other, against the housemates, for BOTH of them having each other is an advantage, they can afford to not make friends for emo support or company or even strategies. Not the same for others who have all come to house and are learning to trust each other.

There is difference between being solo player n being righteous....people can be solo player n need not be righteous and people can be group player while being righteous...there is nothing as such that a solo player is always a righteous

But since solo player don't come with advantages (in number) so they are not responsible for anyone... it's completely their choice whether they would like to involve in something or not ...solo always have chances of being outnumbered in nominations or other tasks including its benefits...it's just their luck or audience support which help them to go forward in initial stages especially.... While group player have multiple advantages.. so if group player will not stand for correct especially within their group, audience will definitely feel them coward..

Now coming to Priyanka n nimrit.. Priyanka is not a solo player especially after yesterday, she has archana n Ankit ...but nimrit had definitely larger group...n something was not right especially in nimrit grp not Priyanka grp... If something will go wrong with archana after yesterday, n Priyanka will not stand, she will be called out then
